OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

As the weekend is here....
Well almost here (8 hours of work first) I'm feeling the pain of my son being gone. We would be deciding what movie to see this week, what the special meal would be, and what each of us are doing. But not today...he is at BC and I'm here missing him.
I was so excited last night with his call....he sounded good with a little nerves. I think he told me I would get his box in 3 WEEKS...lol I had to laugh....we have had that silent call with each other before where you know you want to say so much but don't have time so we just listen to each other quietness....and yes that happened last night. I finally said do you have time to talk (I knew better) but had to ask...he said No....I said I love you, be safe, be strong...he said I love you....and then click. My baby boy disconnected till the next time he can call....
So now I stand tall....I smile and tell everyone I know my son is at boot camp. I will worry the physical/mental requirements will be too much because that's what moms do but I know he will be fine.

He will be fine, its us Moms we have to worry about lol, I went through the same mental torture of being cut off from my baby. In one week i received a letter from the navy about his grad date, but he filled out the informationand and where he wrote my name he drew a heart which to me was his way of telling me he loves me and mentally that will last me a few days. I hope each day finds you stronger and know your feelings are normal. BIG HUGS!
